Update: Elhanan Buzaglo has been sentenced to four years prison and ordered to pay $2,395 compensation towards his victim.

Elhanan Buzaglo has admitted to his part in an attack on a divorced Israeli women who was deemed immodest by a Jerusalem vigilant group.

Buzaglo and six others working for the “chastity squad” have been accused of breaking into the woman’s home attacking her and threatening to kill her.

In a plea bargain with the Jerusalem District Prosecution, Buzaglo has admitted to severe battery in relation to the attack and beggs for leniency:

“The Jerusalem District Prosecution has signed a plea bargain with Elhanan Buzaglo, who was charged with assaulting a woman in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in the capital.

Buzaglo, a member of the so-called ‘Chastity Squad,’ beat and threatened a woman who did not meet the squad’s standards of modesty….

…In June of 2008 Elhanan Buzaglo and six other men forced their way into the woman’s apartment in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Maalot Dafna. The Prosecution says that the woman once belonged to the ultra-Orthodox community, but abandoned that life after her divorce in 2005.

After seizing the woman, the men toppled her to the floor, kicked her repeatedly and then gagged her, warning she would be blinded with mace and stabbed if she dare open her eyes. She was then ‘interrogated’ by Buzaglo and his ilk, as they tried to force her to disclose the identities of men she had been in contact with.

The group, which also hurled profanities at the woman throughout the ordeal, is also accused of threatening to kill the woman if she did not move from her apartment.

The plea bargain signed by Buzaglo’s attorney charges him with severe battery, but not with conspiracy to commit a felony. The court is currently deliberating Buzaglo’s sentence.”
